The obligatory “Obama thinks it’s still 2008″ post

On a busy news day, I wouldn’t so much as blink at this. On a slow news day, when we’re strapped for content? Mandatory post.

Old theory to explain his policy agenda: Obama’s a dangerously doctrinaire liberal aiming to expand an unsustainable welfare state and dressing it up as “pragmatism.” New theory: Obama has mild brain damage.

Now I feel kind of bad for dumping on him all these years. He’s trying his best, guys.

This is how President Obama signed the guestbook at Westminster Abbey earlier today, where he got a tour from the Very Reverend Dr. John Hall and laid a wreath on the Grave of the Unknown Warrior.

It is a great privilege to commemorate our common heritage, and common sacrifice.

Mr Obama dated his entry in the book May 24 2008, rather than the current year.

Apparently Mr Obama was heard to ask the dean what the day’s date was – but managed to get the year wrong.

A Westminster Abbey spokeswoman confirmed it was the president who had written the wrong date.

The White House is pleading jet lag, but c’mon. It’s only natural for a man to revert to thoughts of his glory days when everything around him is falling apart. That’s why I’ve been dating checks “1995” for the past 15 years. Exit question: If The One is brain-damaged, is it time to consider removal proceedings? I’m thinking … no.

I looked at what happened on this day in 2008 and looked at this day in history. I couldn’t find anything substantial that would make this day and year stand out. This is the only excuse I can come up with as to why he was off by 3 years:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PR_rzF8ofw

And yet we’re supposed to assume that everytime he makes a blunder, so immensely stupid that none of us would have done it even when in a drunken stupor (even when I am drunk I know the correct number of states), it is because he is “tired”, etc.

Please. Since he won’t release his college transcripts, I am starting to believe he really is extremely dumb, or at very least extremely clumsy. Tge Affirmative Action POTUS.

Don’t forget that he also said the residents of Austria spoke Austrian!

School records? Occidental? Colombia? Harvard? Sure he did. He went to the Romper Room School for Race Hustlers and Community Extortionists. I wonder if Soros’ PuppetBoy has even a room temperature number IQ… Where’s Chrissy Matthews on how stupid he is? He sure comes up with that anytime Palin or Bachmann come up. Oh yeah, down in sporting goods buying more kneepads. You couldn’t make up what’s happening in the US today. It’s truly upside down…
